Not a lot new, due to the pressures of keeping up with current order to alleviate this problem, I intend to sell some fittings as castings only, this will give me more time to concen-trate on new items, and make it cheaper for you require any products urgently, please be aware that I don t usually manage to keep everything in stock, so it islikely that there will be delays, especially with the larger fittings which are only made occassionally in batches. Pleaseorder early, and be otherwise stated, all products in this Catalogue are for 5 BR LOCO SSteam Brake to most standards.

Available as a kit of lost wax castings in gunmetal for thetwo bodies, brass handles, and two Viton balls for the clacks. 30 a COCK WATER GAUGESAll the water gauges listed below have the main bodies made from bronze. The working valves have seals toeliminate the metal to metal contact of the traditional plug cock, thus ensuring a steam tight but non sticking seal. Theglass is sealed with Viton O rings.

7 All gauges are available left or right handed, the hand of a gauge being the side towhich the shut off handles are fitted.
